BIC Mark-It Color Collection Ultra Fine Permanent Marker, Assorted, 36 Markers

The colours are beautiful and the fine points are excellent for fine line detail in colouring. I wished I ordered a second set

I bought these markers to use in my coloring books. I lik how there were so many colors in one pack. They perform wonderfully, and I find these superior to sharpies.1. These aren't scratchy like the ultra fine sharpies. I would find the tips of them to scratch my page but these don't do that.2. These are way more comfortable to hold with their shape and gripper.3. These don't have much of a smell. I actually enjoy the smell of sharpies so this doesn't make a difference to me, but for others it can. I dont smell anything when coloring unless I put my nose right up to the paper. Then it just smells like crayola markers or something.Not to mention the color saturation is great! You can easily color large or small spaces. Be careful with tiny spaces though as the ink can bleed. For tight areas I find all you really have to do is lightly tap the color on. But it's super smooth.The color section is great! You get an array of colors from the rainbow plus 2 greys, 3 browns, and a black.I love these markers!

I ordered these markers based upon other reviewers and suggestions for pairing with coloring books. The markers have a fine tip that allows you to color in small sections well, and also larger sections without taking too long. I have used these a bit on fabric and shiny surfaces, but they are best used on standard paper. The grip is comfortable, with a rubber band around the middle of each pen so that the marker does not slip as you work.The variety of colors is good for any beginner colorist or artist. When I order more, I will definitely be getting a pack with more colors. There are a few markers that are far too dark or far to light to use in most circumstances. The brighter colors are vibrant. For the most part, the markers have lasted well (the seafoam green marker died early) over a period of months, coloring in a few coloring books. The markers WILL BLEED through most paper, so make sure you protect surfaces underneath what you are currently working on.The packaging of this product is smart. You can unfold open the plastic flaps and very easily see your palette of colors. This makes for great travel. After a few months, once I was familiar with the colors, I threw out the plastic case and carried the markers in a small pencil case instead because it was more convenient for me.

These are wonderful pens. I bought the fine tip set. I like the colors. I am hoping Bic will come out with a HUGE set of pens like this. I have been doodling and coloring with these pens for a week or two now. While I don't know how much ink they hold,or how long they last, I can say, as far as markers go, this is the best, by far, set I have ever owned. They color almost without streaking. They blew my go to sharpies out of the water in this regard. Amazing pens. They are what I call chubby pens. So far, I have used them in coloring books for adults, marked my little grandsons new underwear, painted a toenail, and doodled a page with the black pen.While these pens are not inexpensive, they are worth every dollar I spent on them. These are really nice pens. They feel great in my hand, they are very smooth to write and color with. If, and I hope when, Bic releases a huge 100+ count set of these markers, I will be in line to buy both the fine tip and regular tip sets. While I won't be giving up my sharpies, these amazing Bic Markers, are my NEW 'go to' pens for any coloring I need to do.

My go to markers for my adult coloring books. I love that they have 3 tones of the different colors, it makes for good shading effects. The color comes out on the page slightly darker than is ends up being once it is completely dry. The ink colors smoothly and there is very little if any streaking unless you are coloring a large area and even then is minimal. I have been able to blend colors together by coloring darker over lighter tones while the lighter ink is still damp, but you have to be quick since it dries fairly quickly. I will say the color indicators, the clip, barrel band and end tip, on the pens themselves are not an accurate match to the ink on paper. No two colors are exact matches but some are very close, the darkest greens and the berry and the plum come to mind. Some of the light tones could be lighter, but compared to similar types of markers I am happy to have them.The ultra fine tips are good for most fine details, however like most alcohol markers they do bleed some. So you do have to be careful getting close to the lines as they could spread color beyond the line. They will definitely bleed through to the other side of the page on any of the paper i have had in a coloring book. I don't use them in books that have images on both sides of the page. I don't count this as a negative because it is the nature of the coloring medium not just this specific brand.The tri-fold storage container works really well form and helps to keep them organized and protected. It is sturdy and in the several months of regular use has not shown any wear and tear yet.I have also used Sharpie ultra fine point markers and I like the Bic better for range of color and smoothness in application, that said they are vary similar. I have a 24 set of the Sharpies that does have a few colors not in the Bic set, most notably neon colors. If I could only have one set of markers, the Bic Mark-it Ultra Fine would be the set I would choose.I have attached a couple page I colored with the Bics. The fourth image was an attempt at blending the markers together. I am pretty happy with the results.
